Almost 2

Even though the calendar says January 2009, I think Rachel misread it for January 2010.  She definitely keeps things interesting around here.  This morning Clay and I were getting ready for church and were discussing who should go upstairs and wake her up.  We starting laughing talking about how you know the instant you walk in her room what kind of day is in store for little miss.  Sometimes she's laughing and talking to herself about how Barbie woke her up, sometimes she's already yelling for oatmeal, and sometimes she just flat out doesn't want to wake up.  Just a couple of funny things I'd like to remember ---

Today she asked for a snack (actually she now calls it a "snackie" because she thinks it's funny).  I went through about 10 different choices for a snack and she emphatically said "no" followed by, "Ummmm...medicine snackie!"  At least we don't have medicine fears around here.

At church tonight she was busy putting stickers in a book.  I usually lift the edge so she can pull them off.  She took the sheet from me and little miss verbal said, "I do it all by myself!"...loudly. 

And just for the record, her hair gets crazier and crazier every day.  This is what she sported Christmas Eve...


Several people have asked me recently if we're going to try for another child.  My response - we got #2 and #3 all wrapped into one with Rachel!
